On the start of a three day weekend, Muffy joins in on a conversation about [[Crown City]] because [[Sue Ellen Armstrong|Sue Ellen]] was talking about her upcoming trip to Crown City.

Muffy feels disappointed because she had never been there, unlike most of the other kids. She convinces Sue Ellen to take her with her, and she makes a list of three activities she wants to do: 1: Have a fancy dinner. 2: Go on a shopping spree, and 3: experience a tasteful cultural event. They drive there, and meet Sue Ellen's former babysitter [[Carla]]. | ||
However, they all go to an Ethiopian restaurant called Addis Ababa. Muffy has to eat with her hands, which annoys her. She almost gets hit in the face by a fish while Carla was shopping for fish. She goes to the store [[Little Lady Dollar Mart]]. Carla offers a cow-colored beret that she found in the store. After declining it, she finally accepts it and buys it, but does not wear it. | However, they all go to an Ethiopian restaurant called Addis Ababa. Muffy has to eat with her hands, which annoys her.
